Evidence-based psoriasis management for red, scaly, itchy plaques — calming inflammation, reducing flare frequency, and keeping your skin clearer for longer.
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition in which the immune system accelerates skin cell turnover from weeks to days. Cells pile up on the surface as thick, red, silvery-scaled plaques — most often on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back — that itch, crack, and flake.
At Aliva Aesthetics, we build a management plan matched to your psoriasis type, severity, and lifestyle — from advanced topical protocols to phototherapy guidance and systemic options. The aim is simple: fewer flares, smaller plaques, and skin you feel comfortable in.
Psoriasis stems from immune overactivity with a genetic basis — but day-to-day flares are usually set off by identifiable triggers.
In psoriasis the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin, driving rapid cell turnover and the chronic inflammation behind every plaque.
A strong family link exists — around one in three patients has a relative with psoriasis, and several genes are known to raise susceptibility.
Psychological stress is one of the most consistent flare triggers, and the visible nature of psoriasis can create a stress-flare cycle we help you break.
Throat and skin infections — especially streptococcal throat infection — can trigger new-onset guttate psoriasis or worsen existing disease.
Cold, dry conditions and low humidity dry the skin and commonly worsen plaques, while sensible sun exposure often improves them.
Smoking, heavy alcohol use, obesity, and certain medications (such as beta-blockers and lithium) are all recognised aggravators of psoriasis.
Psoriasis takes several distinct forms — and the pattern determines which treatments will work best for you.
The most common form — well-defined, raised red plaques with silvery scale on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back.
Sudden showers of small, drop-like spots across the trunk and limbs, typically following a streptococcal throat infection.
Smooth, shiny red patches in skin folds — underarms, groin, and under the breasts — where friction and moisture worsen symptoms.
Thick, adherent scale and redness on the scalp and hairline, often with intense itching and visible flaking on clothing.
Pitting, discolouration, thickening, and lifting of the nails — affecting up to half of psoriasis patients and often undertreated.
Thick, cracked, painful plaques on the palms and soles that interfere with work and walking — needing intensive targeted care.

“Plaques on my elbows and knees had embarrassed me for a decade. Within three months on Aliva's protocol they flattened almost completely — I wore short sleeves this summer for the first time in years.”
“My scalp psoriasis meant constant flakes on every dark shirt. Their scalp programme cleared the scale and the maintenance routine has kept it away for months.”
“After a throat infection my body erupted in small spots. Aliva diagnosed guttate psoriasis immediately and treated it — my skin cleared fully within weeks.”
“The team explained my triggers, adjusted my routine, and set up phototherapy. My psoriasis is the most controlled it has been in fifteen years.”
